There is a wonderful creative community on facebook - 52 Week Illustration Challenge. It's called a challenge, because we each challenge ourselves to produce an illustration every week following a prompt set by the group's admin. I think of it as a community because there is a huge amount of support and encouragement amongst its members to have faith in our work and to grow as artists. (There I said it, 'artist'!)

Week 34 - Japan*

For this 'Japan challenge', I am tempted to draw a doodle character in a kimono, but for now it is something new.I don't know much about Japan but I wanted to avoid being too obvious. So I have combined two very obvious Japanese symbols with a Japanese art form.It is called Notan. It represents light and dark, ying and yang.Now, I am not very adept at paper cutting AND I couldn't find my best scissors, but here is my best efforts with the time and resources I had this week.*Whoohooo! In the picks :)
